The area around Águeda, located approximately 35 km southeast of Aveiro, has been occupied since early history, as is evidenced by several megalithic monuments. The archaeological site of Cabeço do Vouga is one of the major attractions and provides proof of the Roman occupation; it is close to Trofa, about 6.5 km north of Águeda. Whilst in Trofa, visit the 16th century Renaissance church which has 18th century decoration. Águeda attractions include St Eulalia church, which has rich interior decoration and Renaissance sculptures, the old streets of the riverside quarters and the old estates and manor houses in the region.
